Whenyou connect the power adapter into the laptop, does the power LED lightup? If not then -The battery adapter or the adapter's power lead or the laptop's powersocket could be faulty.Check power adapter's DCplug that connects into the laptop power socket with a multi-meter, the voltageshould be slightly higher than the voltage that is printed on the label on thebottom of the adapter. If the voltage is zero or way below the voltage that isprinted on the label then the power adapter is faulty and needs to be replaced.If the adapter is OK thenconnect it to the laptop and power it up, then look at the power/batterycharging LED light and wriggle the power plug in the laptop's powersocket. If the power/battery LED light flashes and in a certain position thisLED light stays firm, then the power socket is either faulty or it has a drysolder joint where it is connected to the motherboard.This can be repaired but itrequires the laptop to be completely dismantled to get at this power socket andrepair. If you cannot DIY then I suggest you get a quote first.

Hi There,You've got yourself a broken keyboard. More than likely the connection from keyboard>mainboard is worn or broken, resulting in failure during use. The easiest way to solve this would be to purchase a new keyboard and replace it - http://www.aliexpress.com/fm-store/908032/211153434-513256609/laptop-keyboard-for-HP-Probook-4530S-4730s-US-keyboard-NSK-CC0SV-9Z-N6MSV-001-638179-001.htmlYou also have the option of using a USB keyboard.

Have you tried headphones? from the description you are getting feedback through the main speakers, the problem is the headphone jack, or the audio output ic.

check with external speakers..if they are working fine then contact the Hp to replace the speaker.
checked the sound drivers in device manager.
you can go to device manager by right clicking on the my computer icon...there got to manage.
if you see red cross on the sound device...reinstall the sound drivers

my recommendation is that you should not switch to windows xp because now a days laptop are better compatible with windows 7 and as for the lower version of software that are not running try getting higher version because newer version will always have some improvement

To turn the TouchPad on/off, quickly double-tap the TouchPad off indicator (the yellow LED) at the left top corner. If the touchpad is disabled it is indicated by a yellow LED on upper left corner of the touchpad and when the TouchPad is active, the light is off.
This would disable the touchpad completely. Also, if you wish to disable just the double-click through double-tap, you can do this by going to the mouse/touchpad options from the control panel.

Hope it helps! Good Luck! Thanks for using Fixya!
